ff:
Good, steady +9 signal into upstate NY w/ nice audio.

Op gave live time check at 0300 and IDed "WICA, Milwaukee"

and back into music

jFarley:
Thanks, ff.  Thought I heard a "WYCA" ID around 0058, but wasn't sure. 

Andrew Yoder:
I've been listening to this for a while, but the signal was really poor in S5 noise here for a long time. Starting to get decent here on peaks, but really deep fades. Looked up WICA & WYCA...WICA is in Traverse City, MI (about 100 miles or so from Milwaukee), and WYCA is a Christian station in IL. So, maybe the ID is actually from/for this pirate?

Mostly the signal was weak in noise here, but after Captain Morgan signed off the freq, the levels came up really nice for a little bit. Heard "Junk Food Junkie" by Larry Groce, "Want a Fried Pie," and "7-11" song set to the tune of "Stairway to Heaven." In there was a singing WICA ID. It was a nice & clear spliced-together ID, so it seems pretty certain that this was a pirate ID & not a relay of a licensed station. Also had a nice chunk of an announcement with the announcer IDing the recent tracks & mentioning that this is the "Guy Pagana Show"

Nice to hear this & be able to finally pick some details out!

Thanks for the show & please QSL:
